Abstract

The aim of this research is to analyze the level of service to the development of Tebing Tinggi City. This research uses descriptive-quantitative method. The research method used is to analyze the level of service traffic (from the VCR value), the ratio of traffic volume with capacity, and speed, using MKJI 1997. The results showed that the capacity of the road on the primary arterial road network decreased significantly, the highest decrease in capacity occurred at Yos Sudarso street which was 1758, 91 smp / hour and the lowest decrease on Imam Bonjol streetwas 1123,37 smp / hour. With the decrease in capacity, this also causes a decrease in the level of services, where the level of service is affected by traffic volume, capacity and speed, so that the level of service on the primary arterial road network is generally stable on holidays and working days. At peak hours it is in the category of C (some roads are D and E). Grade C describes a stable state, but the speed and flow of the vehicle is controlled, the volume used is for urban road design.
